I now have several Hanns G 174A monitors that have gone dark, power light on, and a quiet, but distinct "clicking" sound from the monitor about every second or so. Any ideas? (no video source plugged in, new monitor to same cables and settings worked fine, old monitor resulted in same problem on alternate machine)

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, blown fuses, poor solder joints, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.
